Cracks of light, amongst the fire

Oil on Canvas - 1200mm x 800mm 

Cracks of light amongst the fire is a painting that was inspired by a sunset watched over the Atlantic ocean. Previous names Power In Between, which did not fully resonate or depict the feeling that was felt when I watched that sunset. It was a wildly windy day on Noordehoek beach as the sun was setting. But there was so much beauty, raw beauty amidst the wildness. 

As the paint has dried you can see these cracks of brighter yellow come through from previous layers of paint with the fiery red over it, which when looking at it feels symbolic of life and symbolic of what that sunset represented. 

There can be calm amongst the storm, light while you feel like you're burning and beauty in the wildness of life. I remember feeling deeply peaceful when watching the sunset while completely overwhelmed but the wind and sand hitting my skin
